Yup and mine is usually very predictable. Ive been driving fbody's in the winter and snow for like 12 years now... Never was my spinniut so unpredictable as this one, mostly i thi k because the roads were clear and dry...

Im lucky i didnt end up in the guard rail and it was late at night.

There's a reason why road racers veer back and forth on a track during a slow speed full-course caution... they do that to keep a sufficient amount of heat in their tires before pushing them to their limits when it's time to go green.

Im not using racing slicks snd 45 mph is hardly pushing it to its limits.....normally. Obviously this time... It was.

Haha I can lose grip driving normally in my tercel when I have the summer specific tires on her.

I'd imagine your cars got some more push than my amazing tercel.

I have a similar issue. No one sells a reasonably priced 315/35-17 in all-season. None of the tires are recommended for cold weather.
